The next morning, when Sang Li woke up, he was alone on the sofa with a pink blanket covering him.
Chu Yin was long gone, leaving only a note on the table.
"I’ve gone to the company, I’ve prepared new toiletries for you, and I’ll be going to Hai City in a couple of days."
The words Hai City were underlined twice by Chu Yin.
Sang Li picked up his phone and sent a message to Chu Yin.
"Got it."
He then called Zhou Zhao.
"Pack up, we’re heading back."
"What? Going back already? What about Chu Yin?" Zhou Zhao asked puzzled.
"The big star’s off to earn money to buy a house."
"..."
Zhou Zhao thought it was some kind of code, but as long as they were happy, it didn’t matter to him.
Sang Li asked again, "Should we inform Chen Jin?"
"Young Master," Zhou Zhao sighed, "I’ll take care of it. We can leave this afternoon."
"Hmm."
...
Elsewhere.
Chu Yin received a text from Sang Li, her face brimming with joy.
Even the makeup artist noticed something different.
"Miss Chu, why are you so happy? Anyone would think you’re in love."
Chu Yin smiled sheepishly, and happened to see Sister Meng in the mirror eavesdropping on their conversation.
She immediately deleted the chat history, removed the password lock on her phone, and switched to facial recognition.
Even if Sister Meng peeked at her phone again, she wouldn’t be able to unlock it.
Afterward, she chatted with the makeup artist at ease.
"No, just found some funny jokes online."
"People writing online jokes are really talented nowadays. I love reading them too," the makeup artist continued.
After chatting for a while, Chu Yin finished her makeup and began today’s filming.
After filming, she found Sister Meng near her bag.
"Sister Meng, is there something you need?"
Sister Meng was startled: "No, nothing. Finished filming? Let’s go then."
Chu Yin nodded: "I want to use the bathroom, you go wait in the car."
Sister Meng nodded and left after a glance at her.
Once in the toilet stall, Chu Yin quickly took out her phone to check it.
There wasn’t anything particular, only that the phone felt oddly warm.
The phone had been used for many years, maybe it was just aging.
After putting down the phone, Chu Yin sighed in relief.
Once back in the car, Sister Meng handed her scripts of possible future collaborations.
She examined them, realizing Sister Meng indeed had hidden some.
The scripts were excellent and challenging.
Chu Yin didn’t mention it immediately, calmly saying, "Sister Meng, I’ll take my time to read them at home, thank you."
"It’s my duty."
Finishing their conversation, Chu Yin’s phone vibrated a few times.
It was a message from Lin Zhiyi.
"How was yesterday?"
"Since when did you become so nosy?"
"Then I won’t ask. I just wanted to know if you’re okay today."
"Zhiyi, stop worrying about me, I’m really fine."
Chu Yin knew Lin Zhiyi was still worried she’d suffer losses.
"Zhiyi, I’ll treat you to a meal later, anyway, Mr. Sang is heading back to Hai City after his work ends."
"Okay."
An hour later, Lin Zhiyi met Chu Yin at a restaurant.
"Have a look at what you want to eat." Chu Yin handed over the menu.
Lin Zhiyi randomly picked two dishes, asking, "Sister Meng didn’t give you any trouble, did she?"
Chu Yin shook her head: "I saw her near my phone earlier, but she shouldn’t have unlocked it. She also gave me quite a few scripts, but I think you’re right, even if she saw me with the Gong Family, she still seems to want to get me, so I don’t think she’s holding back."
Otherwise, if word got out, people would think she was a pervert in private.
Chu Yin said, "Xiao Zuo mentioned the celebrity is now in Jing City, seemingly staying with her parents nearby."
"We’d better meet her before Sister Meng and find out the truth to hold against Sister Meng."
"Alright, let’s go."
Chu Yin immediately put on her sunglasses and stood up.
As Lin Zhiyi got up, she sent out a message.
...
The two drove to an old neighborhood.
After getting out of the car, Chu Yin wasn’t afraid of being recognized and took off her sunglasses.
"What’s going on? She’s an award-winning celebrity, why is she living here?"
Lin Zhiyi didn’t answer but connected it to the past life when the celebrity committed suicide due to depression.
She guessed it was probably the advice of a psychologist for the celebrity to return to a place where she felt safe.
This old neighborhood must be where the celebrity grew up.
Lin Zhiyi said, "Let’s go."
Chu Yin nodded and walked towards the address.
But they hadn’t gone far when they saw a woman with disheveled hair rushing over.
She kept looking behind her and accidentally knocked Chu Yin down.
But she didn’t even apologize, just got up and dashed away.
"Wait, stop, how can you act like this?"
Lin Zhiyi reached out to grab her, but missed.
Chu Yin lay on the ground, unable to react for a long time,
showing just how much force the woman used.
Chu Yin looked up just in time to see the woman’s face clearly.
"It’s... it’s her..."
"Who?" Chu Yin reached out to help her up.
Chu Yin, holding her waist, said, "That celebrity! It’s her! Stop... ugh!"
The next second, Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth.
